Diabetes and Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair transplant surgery with follicular unit transplantation is thegold standard for the treatment of male patterned baldness formost men. There are several conditions a
should take into extra considerationbefore performing a hair transplant surgery. Most of thoseconditions are skin related problems that may lead to the loss of hair after hair transplant surgery like alopecia areata (AA) orcicatricial alopeica. The patients may experience poor hairgrowth after
or they maynot grow hair at all. Some systemic diseases may also hinder thefull growth of the grafts such as thyroid diseases.Diabetes is definitely not a contraindication for hair transplantsurgery, however, like any other surgery it may delay the healingof the surgical wound. Wound healing problems are not onlylimited to
, but could be seenin any other skin procedure especially if diabetes is not quitecontrolled.Although the rate of wound complications in diabetic patientsalways stays or seems higher than an averageindividual, monitoring and close controlling the diabetes aroundthe time of surgery is critical to significantly reduce the rate of wound complications of a
surgeryin diabetic patients.
